Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install this package, use this command: ``` composer require mateusjunges/laravel-time-helpers ``` The `past` function ------------------- [](#the-past-function) The `past` function, as the time suggests, returns a time in the past. You can use it and chain with the following methods: - `past(10)->seconds()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 seconds in the past - `past(10)->minutes()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 minutes in the past - `past(10)->hours()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 hours in the past - `past(10)->weeks()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 weeks in the past - `past(10)->weekDays()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 week days in the past - `past(10)->months()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 months in the past - `past(10)->years()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 years in the past - `past(10)->centuries()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 centuries in the past The `in` function ----------------- [](#the-in-function) The `in` function can be used to get a Carbon instance in the future. You can chain it with the exact same methods used in the `past` function: - `in(10)->seconds()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 seconds in the future - `in(10)->minutes()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 minutes in the future - `in(10)->hours()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 hours in the future - `in(10)->weeks()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 weeks in the future - `in(10)->weekDays()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 week days in the future - `in(10)->months()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 months in the future - `in(10)->years()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 years in the future - `in(10)->centuries()`: Returns a Carbon instance 10 centuries in the future All methods returns a `Carbon\Carbon` instance, which means you will still be able to use all the `Carbon` methods.
